Abstract

A new method of managing pelvic lymphoceles after urologic procedures is described. A patient with a symptomatic pelvic lymphocele after pelvic lymph node dissection and radical retropubic prostatectomy was treated laparoscopically. Technical aspects of laparoscopic marsupialization of lymphoceles are described, and the laparoscopic approach is compared with other modalities available for treating lymphoceles.
